Chapter 365: To Kill for Love (1/2)
”How is this an interrogation room?” Xiaotao laughed. “I think it’s turned into a psych ward. Song Yang, are you ready?”
I nodded, ”Let's go in and meet the man!”
When we entered the interrogation room, the Imitator stood up abruptly and sat back down again after us. It seemed his performance had started again.
”Tell me your name, age, and occupation!” barked Xiaotao.
Using Xiaotao's manner of speech, the Imitator repeated, ”Tell me your name, age, and occupation!”
Instead of being worked up, Xiaotao smiled and winked at me. ”He’s actually quite good!”
The Imitator smiled and winked, ”He’s actually quite good!”
”Do you think I can’t do anything to you?”
”Do you think I can’t do anything to you?”
Xiaotao took out a recording pen, ”My name is Wang Er and I’m 34 years old. I am a professional hitman.”
”My name is Wang Er and I’m 34 years old. I’m a professional hitman.”
Xiaotao waved the recording pen, ”You said it yourself. Since you’re planning to repeat after me, I might as well get you to make some incriminating statements!”
The Imitator shook his nonexistent recording pen, ”You said it yourself. Since you’re planning to repeat after me, I might as well get you to make some incriminating statements!”
Xiaotao’s plan wasn’t working. The Imitator didn't care at all and simply enjoyed mimicking others.
Xiaotao burst out in expletives and spread her hands, ”I give up!”
The Imitator yelled the same expletive and copied her movements. ”I give up!”
Watching the Imitator learn Xiaotao's movement and body language, I felt an irrepressible bubble of laughter.
”How dare you laugh, you little heartless thing!” pouted Xiaotao.
To her utter surprise, the Imitator didn’t repeat after her this time.
”Hmm, has he stopped?” pondered Xiaotao.
Thus, Xiaotao continued with the serious talk but the Imitator replied haughtily, ”I didn't kill anyone. I’m an active policeman. You have no right to question me.”
”You? A policeman?! Shut up!” snapped Xiaotao.
Why did the Imitator’s expression seem so familiar to me? I suddenly cried, ”He has become you! This is his impersonation of you.”
The Imitator cocked his head and smiled at me with admiration, ”Why hadn’t I noticed how smart you are?”
He spoke in the exact manner and intonation Xiaotao usually would! This man was born to be an actor. Actually, scratch that; even an actor carried his own feelings but the Imitator was an empty shell that could transform into anyone from inside out.
I pointed to my eyes and then at him. ”Do you want to try it again?”
The Imitator shook his hands in horror. ”Song Yang, what are you planning to do to me?”
